SMART - Concept Exploration Phase Challenges and Opportunities
SMART - Concept Exploration Phase Challenges and Opportunities
Mission Statement
In support of the Army - its mission and soldiers -
the Army Model and Simulation Office (AMSO) provides
the vision, strategy, oversight, and management
of Models and Simulations (M&S) across all M&S domains.
Core Competencies
1) Develops and promulgates the Army’s M&S policy;
2) ensures the integration of M&S across all three of the Army’s M&S
domains - -
• Advanced Concepts and Requirements (ACR);
• Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA); and
• Training, Exercises and Military Operations (TEMO);
3) assists senior leaders in properly resourcing Army M&S programs;
4) fosters reuse and development of common M&S components and tools;
5) acts as focal point for Army M&S matters with the Joint Staff, CINC’s,
DARPA, DMSO, Services, DoD Agencies and OSD staff elements; and
6) promotes the Army's M&S research program.

•“PM Outreach”: Identify M&S cost drivers
• Focus efforts on high payoff standards
⇒ fewer high payoff standards initially
• Integrated support - Training and Equipping Funds
• Direct funding for SCCs working on high payoff standards
